1.0 out of 5 stars NOT "All original recordings", May 29, 2003

This review is from: B.J. Thomas. 22 Classic Tracks. CD Double Play (Audio CD)

Well, I'm writing this review AFTER I got my CD, and I'm really unhappy. It says, right on the cover, "All Original Recordings." Baloney. These are not the original recordings, but re-recordings done later. There are obvious differences in Thomas' vocals, the instrumentation, etc. Is it badly done? Not necessarily. I suppose if you're a die-hard B. J. Thomas fan you'll find this a decent set of alternate recordings for your collection. But if you want the original songs you do not want this CD. My review and rating are based solely on this CD not being what it claims to be. For shame.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag of Old and New Versions, July 5, 2004

This review is from: B.J. Thomas. 22 Classic Tracks. CD Double Play (Audio CD)

This CD seems to be a combination of old and new versions of some of B.J's great songs. B.J. Thomas has an incredible voice when at his best, and had the knack of selecting wonderfully melodic songs with great lyrics, especially throughout the 60s and 70s. Unfortunately the new recordings on this CD lack the energy and sincerity of his originals, both in terms of B.J's vocal performances, and in regard to the arrangements. Why you would want to change such gems as this man's originals of

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Trip--- Not the Original Hit Song Arrangements, July 27, 2006

This review is from: B.J. Thomas. 22 Classic Tracks. CD Double Play (Audio CD)

These are NOT the original tracks that we all heard on the radio. They sound like primitive rehearsal tracks with marginal singing, bad orchestration,and different arrangements.

Do Not Buy This CD --- or on second thought, please buy mine.
